A story for those who believe in coincidence ... this is such a strange story. By chance, while looking for a neighbourhood party, the Romneys went to a house, joined a family party and had dinner with them instead ... got "pictures of everyone." Later, he is informed that one of those present was a Navy SEAL killed in Benghazi.

One degree of separation. Verifiable- brought to his attention by family members.

Small wonder the military is 3/4 supportive of Romney at this juncture. They crave a CINC who loves America, and respects their contribution.

How many times do we need to see this to comprehend it?

As you say - it is verifiable. I do not doubt the veracity of this story. It is just such an extraordinary series of co-incidences ... it almost seems to have a meaning - to be a sign. But maybe I am a bit superstitious.

No I would take it as face value; it’s too easily refuted. No need at this juncture to make anything up. The military is already anti-obama.

God is lighting a path. We know how this age ends but we will have one last shining period of unknown duration..darkness is coming and many will lay down their lives, and in doing so find Life.

This is the promise of Jesus Christ.

Mitt rarely talks about these kind of things and he has done a LOT for people over the years. I’m surprised he even mentioned it.

Romney should mention this interesting tidbit in some honorable context.

He didn’t need to, but it is a touchstone for him.

Romney and Obama have something in common. Romney has met the family, and Obama's Autopen has corresponded with the family.
